William Shakespeare: Not An Imposter (1857)

By George Henry Townsend and An English Critic

Book Overview

William Shakespeare: Not An Imposter (1857) is a book written by an English critic that aims to dispel the belief that William Shakespeare was not the true author of his plays and poems. The author argues that the evidence supporting Shakespeare's authorship is overwhelming and that the claims of conspiracy theorists are baseless. The book examines the historical context in which Shakespeare lived and worked, as well as the literary and linguistic characteristics of his writing. It also addresses the various theories that have been proposed to explain why Shakespeare might not have been the true author of his works, including the idea that he was illiterate or that he was a front for another writer. The author concludes that Shakespeare was indeed the author of his plays and that the evidence supporting this claim is both strong and persuasive. Overall, William Shakespeare: Not An Imposter is a compelling defense of Shakespeare's authorship and a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate over one of the most enduring mysteries in literary history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
